This one day hands-on course introduces the participants to single-cell RNA-seq data analysis concepts and tools using the free and user-friendly Chipster software. No previous knowledge of Unix or R is required!

The Taito supercluster environment provides a good platform for running computing intensive bioinformatics analysis. However, to be able to utilize Taito effectively, you must understand how the batch job system works in Taito.

In this course you will learn how to clean up, manipulate and visualise your data using the efficient workflows available in RStudio and the tidyverse packages. These central data science skills are usually also called data wrangling and exploratory data analysis.

HPC-Europa3 funds 3-13 week research visits to nine European countries by providing travel and accommodation expenses, as well as, resources from the target country supercomputing center. HPCE3 facilitates creating new and strengthening existing international scientific collaboration and gives access to resources not accessible at home organization. All levels of researchers can apply, also to and from industry, as long as results can be published and research requires HPC. Programme runs until April 2021 and applications are reviewed four times every year. More info and online application: www.hpc-europa.eu

In this course we teach various ways to optimise and parallelise Python programs. Among the topics are performance analysis, efficient use of NumPy arrays, extending Python with more efficient languages (Cython), and parallel computing with task based (multiprocessing) and message passing (mpi4py) approaches.

Take this short-notice but unique opportunity - come and listen to our special guest and keynote speaker Anil Sethi, Entrepreneur-in-Residence at ETH Zurich, author of one of the top 5 books in the world for innovation in 2017 "From Science to Startup" .

This webinar introduces the participants to the VirusDetect pipeline that can efficiently analyze large scale small-RNA (sRNA) datasets for both known and novel virus identification. VirusDetect pipeline is available on CSC's Taito server, and in free and user-friendly Chipster software.

This course gives a thorough introduction to programming GPUs using the directive based OpenACC paradigm. The course consists of lectures and hands-on exercises. Topics of this course include the basic usage of OpenACC, as well as some more advanced issues related to profiling, performance and interoperability with CUDA.

CSC recommends sharing research data whenever possible. This webinar tells you about several services that enable you to share data within a project or for a wider audience. From the perspective of making the data freely available, it is important to define the terms and conditions under which persons interested in using the data can know whether there are any restrictions on its use. This is the fourth webinar of the series "Love your data! CSC´s research data management webinars".

Various aspects of the data and its use are to be considered already when planning the research project. This webinar gives an overview to the storage services produced by CSC and how these services can be applied during the lifecycle of your research data. This is the third webinar of the series "Love your data! CSC´s research data management webinars".

You can find datasets for your purposes with a help of discovery services as Etsin and B2FIND. Some issues must be taken into consideration when using another researcher's data in your own research. What are they and how can you minimize the risks? This is the second webinar of the series "Love your data! CSC´s research data management webinars".

Did you attend the Certified Wireless Network Administrator (CWNA) course and decide you want to learn more? Do you want to take the next step towards becoming a real expert on Wi-Fi? We are now offering a continuing course that covers the major topics of Certified Wireless Design Professional (CWDP) and Certified Wireless Analysis Professional (CWAP).

Blender is free and open source 3D creation suite, that supports the entire 3D pipeline. Many aspects of Blender will be demoed, depending on the interests of the participants. The focus will be on rendering imported meshes, and creating geometry.

Why should you manage your data? What are the good practices managing your research data? How does CSC help you and provide tools for your data management in the different phases of your research? This is the first webinar of the series "Love your data! CSC´s research data management webinars"

Do you have an understanding of the fundamentals of wireless technology? Do you know how WLAN work and how it's managed day-to-day? Do you have the ability to install, configure and troubleshoot and maintain wireless networks within small business or Enterprise deployments?

In the webinar we introduce basic usage of Notebooks, demonstrate how lecturers can use power user features to create customised course environments and host QA to answer your questions about the service. The introduction part takes about 20 minutes.

This training course addresses the fundamentals and programming of the D-Wave 2X. A combination of lectures and hands-on practical labs will guide the students through the quantum phenomena harnessed in quantum computers, to examples in constructing their own quantum algorithm. It concludes with a hands-on laboratory in which students will formulate and execute programs on a live quantum computer in Canada.

This webinar presents the basics for getting into using open source mathematics software GNU Octave and SageMath on CSC's Taito cluster. The webinar contains a short introduction and a couple of example cases. No prerequisite knowledge about the software are assumed.
